“Che © fase Strain O Class 
The following strain of glads is produced by a hybridizer and grower in Florida who 
grows his bulbs there and doesn’t harvest them till January. Then he puts them in cold storage 
for a couple of months and can’t ship until in March. | have not grown any of these varieties 
myself but have seen them in the originator’s summer garden in Vermont where they were very 
fine. They have all won prizes at the shows and Spindrift has been especially nice and won 
grand championships in at least two places, Boston and Binghamton, where it was wonderfully 
fine. The other varieties looked very good also. Bulbs all furnished by the originator. Originator’s )
